Downsizing Simplified

Downsizing can take time to achieve and involves many steps to complete. Allowing enough time to successfully downsize is key. Listed below are brief explanations of our services; all are customizable.

​

Please note: You do not have to have a move scheduled to use our services. We can help with the often-daunting task of sorting and paring down the accumulations of life. We've assisted many customers over the years who wanted to take the step to clear the excess and organize their homes for a more manageable, safe living environment.

 

Pre-Move Tasks.

DEFINING GOALS.
Just like many other projects in life, downsizing begins with defining goals. Grab a pencil and paper and write down what you want to achieve. Is it tackling the basement or garage, or maybe cleaning out closets? Write down everything that comes to mind (don't let the list overwhelm you). After your goals are defined, we can help you with the next step: creating an action plan.
​
THE PLAN.
The plan is the road map. It will set dates for completion for each goal you've identified. Without a plan, staying on track and meeting important key dates is difficult. Commitment is key to success, and being realistic about capabilities and limitations is also very important. You know yourself better than anyone else, so make a plan that "fits" you.
 
SORTING & PARING DOWN.
The decision-making step. This is the process step that can be the most difficult and time consuming. It's the step that can become too big, too fast and completely overwhelms many people. This is where the well-defined "plan" comes into play. Acting as coaches and helpers, we work closely with you to determine the best approach for optimal results. We're part of your team and our primary job is to assist. You make the decisions, and we facilitate.
​
Packing & Move Management Services.
If you're planning a move, we can pack the things you'll be taking with you and also align the right mover. We'll set up the move, and manage the move, start-to-finish. We'll unpack your belongings and get you settled in as quickly as possible. With years of experience, our move management services are handled with professional proficiency.
​

COMING in February 2025.

Hospice Volunteering has shown me that patients and their families can sometimes use help with End-of-Life paring down. This End-of-Life service will specifically focus on working with the patient and their family members to sort through possessions and determine the passing on of cherished items to friends or family. As the paring down process is in progress, with permission, there can be legacy recordings made for loved ones.
